W Wall's largest ashlar

[edit]
"at ca. 10 – 12 metres above the base of the Temple Mount's western wall enclosure."

Above the base? Not part of lowest course? Quoted source doesn't say anything about that.

The W Wall is part of an enclosure, it doesn't have an enclosure. Arminden (talk) 09:01, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Arminden: I think the enclosure thing is just poor writing. It means the western wall is a retaining wall for the temple mount. As for the distance, I didn't find it but I don't have time to search at the moment. It is clear from the image at Western Stone that there is at least one course below it. The wall extends quite far underground so I find the distance plausible, but of source a source is needed. Zerotalk 00:40, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
